Needlework Update - April, 2026

Good morning,

Welcome to our Needlework Update where we collect images of all items completed since the last Update.

Above is a Baby Blanket and Turtle Toy that is a perfect baby shower or first birthday gift!  $65.  Only one available here. 

 And, here's a Baby Blanket and Doll that will receive "oooohs" and "aaaaahs" at the baby shower.  $65 for the set.  Only one set available here.  

 This is another blanket and turtle set that was a custom order and has been delivered.

It takes time to hand make items for the shop.  We're preparing for Fall and Back to School and this was definitely the month for hats!  This is a Nordic Knit Intarsia hat that is my own design.  $38.  Only one available.  More information and images here.

This soft, warm basket weave knit design is a classic.  $38.  Only one available here.

 This beautiful Cloche Hat can also be a beautiful Chemo Cap. 22"-24" Medium Adult.  Only $10.  More information here.

We have dozens of Cloche Hats/Chemo Caps in the shop in all sizes and colors here.  From $8. 

And, finally, a Mug Rug/Snack Mat.  It's perfect to have next to your computer for your cup of coffee and large enough to also accommodate a small snack.  They wash beautifully and are ready to use over and over.  This one was made for a friend, but there is a similar set of three available in the shop here.

That's it for another Update edition.  There are always more items in the works so check back again.

Our shop, Evensens Productions, is our retirement endeavor.  We've been at this for 15 years now and enjoy it tremendously.  We stay in touch with old friends and have met so many new lovely people along the way.  We sincerely appreciate your shares, comments, favorites, likes, pins, and purchases, too!  

All the very best,

Lois & Kjell

Steak and Fries

 Good morning,

Steak prepared perfectly by Kjell. I made the fries that were pretty good, too.

Ah, yes, Steak and Fries for dinner.

I had a big salad for lunch so I had a balanced day.

 How do you like your steak?

Deck Chair and Patio Cleaning

 Good morning,

Kjell sent me these pictures yesterday morning while I was working at my computer on deck 2.  He was outside pressure washing the patio and cleaning off the pups' "deck chair" where Lily collects toys and logs.

The older dogs are thrilled to have the cleaned chair, but notice Lily is already bringing sticks and chunks of potting soil back to chew there as soon as the space is vacated by Elsa. 

 Wendy got her turn on the chair before Lily was able to take over.

If only we had more room for more deck chairs.  We purchased this one years ago for Penny who is now in doggie heaven.  The other pups love to use it. too.

More fun to come!  The weather is warm.

All the best,

Lois

Winnifer The Pooh

 Good morning,

Kjell sent me this image and it took awhile for me to figure it out.

It's Elsa channeling Winnie the Pooh.  I'm sure she'd like to be Winnifer the Pooh.  

She's under the old oak tree where the dogs have dug out a hideaway.  

Cute.  Messy, but cute.

I know who bought it for him.  Her name is Lily.

Another winner!  Kjell made dinner last night.

That is an image of his fried fish cakes and shrimp with potato and special white sauce made with herbs from our garden.

Yes, Yummy!
